Nice win for Birkeland on the men's side.  Andersson out races Merkushyna to the finish by 1.7 seconds.

Thanks @Olympian1010! ☺️ It's a shame you couldn't watch the live streaming.

About my race, you lost nothing. It was a shit day ?

Misses were gotten by stupid mistakes (good position, wrong timing: on prone, first miss was like 1cm away; second miss was on the edge. On standing, both misses away (shot faster than I should) and all hits on the prone target) and, skiing with 4kg on my back is something I need to get used again. I had power to go faster, but no technique by easily losing balance for being not used to race with the rifle on my back, so I felt stuck on the track. Saturday is gonna be another experience and I hope in Obertilliach I am already used to that again.

Thanks to everyone who was cheering

Live from Ridnaun again, this time with a new camera option: "The Race", where the race is sort of followed with graphics included

I do like the addition of the race.  Glad to see Phanuef shoot well.  Improvement from the Brazilians as well.

[RobtheAggie 340]

Lots of good shooting.  11 so far who have shot clean.  Who does the wax for the Brazilian athletes?

I wish someone did

Late starters getting it done as the race is still interesting.  

 

I really am curious how what the skis were like to shoot 1-1 and have such trouble on the tracks.  Nice shooting though.
